Thanks for the update. Is there another way to figure out the number of views my content gets on Twitter? Do you guys have plans to make extended twitter analytics (Tweet activity: engagements, link licks etc) available via the API?

Some of these analytics are available via the Gnip Insights products, specifically the Engagement API. We'll definitely consider future options for how more information can be made available via APIs, but at the moment there are no concrete plans to extend in this area.
